Samurai Maid Cafe

Fancy going to a Maid Cafe? Or have you already went to one before? Looks like it’s a “sengoku-boom” now, that someone actually started a Sengoku Maid Cafe =O

I only went to the Meido Cafe here.. and well the food is okay? It’s not a Japanese Meido Cafe so …

Otaku Bought 29 Boxes of Petit Nendoroids

Just how otaku are you? A certain otaku fan of the IdolM@ster series actually bought 29 boxes of the Petit Nendoroids Stage 2 that were just released this month.

A grand total of 174,000 yen for them O_O
